Camp Counsellor - Toronto, Canada - Uchenna Academy

Description

Welcome to BallMatics

Since opening our doors in 2010, the BallMatics program has grown to become a vibrant learning centre in the heart of Toronto.

What started as a casual tutoring and pick-up adult basketball informal club has grown to include:

• A newly renovated athletic facility downtown Toronto
• Our signature math and basketball program, BallMatics
• Full time basketball prep and development program with our partner Uchenna Academy

In 2010, we started with $2/hour tutoring, gym rentals throughout the city, and the delivery of our BallMatics program during summer school, back when we called it the Retention program.

We have worked hard to realize our dream of having our own space, where we can play basketball and leverage it as a teaching tool.

We hope you find one (or few) areas that pique your interest and connect with us.
